This a studio painting that is based on a trip to the ArtSanDiego fair last November. It was a great trip and a wonderful art fair. It was my first time in California. I really loved the hills. We don't have any down here in South Florida. In a strange way it reminded me of where I grew up in Northern New Jersey.
I am thinking of a general sense on how I perceive the subjects in my paintings. I can only put a stream of experiences to describe the image: the song by Frank Sinatra, a barely remembered poem about Chicago..something about big shoulders, pop culture thoughts like prohibition and gansters, great pizza, baseball, lots of guys that look like me (baseball cap, bearded, slight beer belly) Guinness, el trains, bridges, biting cold etc.. Does this make sense?
